This shift has had far reaching consequences for people seeking asylum, who have been systematically impoverished as part of the effort to strip out any possibility of an economic 'pull factor' leading to more arrivals, but also for those administering their support system, and for civil society organisations and groups who seek to ameliorate the worst effects of the resulting asylum regimes. This book argues that within this context asylum support policies in the UK which are meant to help and protect, in fact do serious harm to their recipients. It argues that the shift from construing asylum seekers as economically, rather than politically, motivated migrants across the West, is part of a much broader set of historical and philosophical worldviews than has previously been articulated. The book offers a rigorously researched and richly theorised analysis drawing on postcolonial and decolonial perspectives in making sense of the purposeful impoverishment by the state of a particular group of people, and why this continues to be tolerated in the fourth richest country in the world"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Refugees $z Great Britain $x Social conditions. 650 0 $a Refugees $z Great Britain $x Economic conditions. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x Government policy. $x Government policy. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x Public opinion. $x Public opinion. 650 7 $a Emigration and immigration $x Government policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00908700 650 7 $a Emigration and immigration $x Public opinion. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00908713 650 7 $a Refugees $x Economic conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01092804 650 7 $a Refugees $x Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01092844 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 776 08 $i Online version: $a Mayblin, Lucy, $t Impoverishment and asylum. $d Milton Park, Abingdon, Oxon ; New York : Routledge, 2020. $z 9780367823450 $w (DLC) 2019043324 830 0 $a Routledge advances in sociology. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20210721014108.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E99BE4D0B05F11EA86A2D96D97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
